I haven’t been to too many funerals, but you pretty much know what to expect. Rarely is it a party. In fact, I’m not sure that exists, other than in movies when some Irish cop, or firefighter, dies on the job. Those guys are all about the food and drink and generally merrymaking. It basically […]

In May we told you about The Kooks performing secret Sidewalk Sets in Los Angeles and Paris. Now, fans from Walla Walla to Kissimmee will have the opportunity to witness some New York outdoor performances of their own. One day ahead of the band’s Central Park Summerstage show on September 10th, the Kooks are treating […]

According to The Quietus, Radiohead is scoring Choke — the new Chuck Palahniuk flick. This is amazing on like 12 different levels. First off, Radiohead’s ambient twiddlings, when done right, are just about custom-made for a good cinematic backdrop.

The First Class “suites” are little pods, complete with burlwood […]

All right people, thanks Modular Recordings we’re bringing you this Monday morning treat that’ll help keep your week in motion. A LIAS favorite, last year The Bang Gang Deejays definitely rattled our rafters and had us bouncing around to their double disc compilation Light Sound Dance (broken down simply as LSD).
